Not only we, it comes from rpm defaults. Some (broken) apps expect char to be signed, I remember that we have at least one which didn't work when built without -fsigned-char (but don't remember its name). Similar issue exists on alpha with -mieee. -- Jakub Bogusz http://cyber.cs.net.pl/~qboosh/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
